Brian Moraes, D.O.

Dr. Brian Moraes, D.O. has always been drawn to the DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) approach of treating the body as a whole entity. After medical school, he completed an Internal Medicine residency at Tulane University where he trained at the legendary Charity Hospital. Dr. Moraes stayed on to complete a fellowship in Nephrology and Hypertension. Upon finishing his training, he moved back to South Florida where he grew up and opened his own private practice.
Despite doing everything considered “standard of care” by textbooks and algorithms, Dr. Moraes noticed how patients could be living longer, but not necessarily healthier or happier. It took years and plenty of “thinking outside the box” to develop the protocols that make up his practice. Dr. Moraes’ underlying guiding principle has always been that less medication equals better quality of life. Today, his practice has patients who travel from all over the country just for their medical care. Dr. Moraes was one of the first DOs in the country to be named a Fellow of The American College of Preventive Cardiology. He had a hand in the creation of Excel Medical Clinical Trials, one of the preeminent clinical trial sites in South Florida.
Dr. Moraes has a diverse range of interests and hobbies. He is non-discriminating reader, eclectic music lover and a big fan of art-house and foreign films. He has found ways to incorporate a multitude of these diverse interests into “the art of medicine”.
